saplings giveaway for Burnham area is extended by garden centre

People
in the Burnham-On-Sea area are being given an extra chance to
apply for free saplings from a local garden centre after it extended
its giveaway deadline.

Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre has extended the deadline
for applications in the Burnham area to Monday, February 29th
to give people creating wildlife habitats an extra chance to apply.

Andrew Pitman, Store Manager at the garden centre at Monkton Heathfield
near Bridgwater, explained: "We know people are very busy
so they may not have had a chance to submit their entries for
our sapling giveaway yet, which is why we have extended the deadline
to Monday, February 29th."

"Well be giving people 16 free young trees, to mark
the year 2016, that can be used in a variety of ways including
for hedging and small woodland areas, therefore improving the
environment."

"Were especially keen to help people who want to create
a space in their garden or on their land to attract more wildlife.
We believe protecting wildlife is extremely important and want
to encourage more people to provide shelter and food for various
animals."

"We do have a limited number available and are allocating
them on a first come, first served basis, so we urge people to
submit their requests as soon as possible."

People should write in to Andrew Pitman at the garden centre giving
details of their project and why they think they deserve to receive
a group of saplings.

The successful applicants will be invited to come and collect
their trees from the garden centre at a mutually convenient time.
By entering the giveaway, the winner or winners have agreed to
take part in publicity.
